No idea, because I have never fished Big Spring because I never had an urge to travel that far to fish for an introduced species.

okay... so we should harvest and wipe out the steelhead and lake run browns on the Elk, Walnut, mile's, and orchard creeks and Salmon river etc. because they are all invasive and thus have no intrinsic value to anglers, right ?

or do you think that some fly anglers would quite like to travel and fish for some introduced species that are still pretty rare in the East as whole ?

nah, lets just wipe out that fishery and replace it with the 1-2lb landlocks like Lake Champlain has....

The idea of using a barrier is only worthwhile if there is a high enough barrier that rainbows can't go over it, like the dam at the lower end of the creek, and if there were a heavy fine for anyone moving fish into the "Managed" water. The barrier has to be high and straight up to block the bows, it can't be what was called a barrier before.So shock the upper water and move all the bows down below the dam, everyone will be happy. Make the stream C & R for brookies and 1 trophy bow a day above the dam.
